How did she get your mother to just sign the house over to her? I don't know about your state but in mine, there are repercussions.

My sister has power of attorney and she talked my mother into it.
I check with a lawyer and nothing can be done.

I understand your frustration, as my elder sister was POA for our mother and also abused the privilege to her financial advantage.

Just saw a statement that shows that on the day our mother lay dying, out of it on morphine, while i was praying for her peaceful demise and the future happiness of her soul, my sister was off spending the last of her bank account, incl. a meal at her fave. burger joint. Yes, i wish she would have choked on that meal that day.

Am contemplating civil action as i type. It's not about the $, but about calling her out and maybe getting something on her record about this. Have just started researching this, as it's just all gone down. Mother died in early Dec., '15.

I understand how sad and frustrating it is to have a sibling be such a grabber, and the feeling of betrayal you have towards your mother in this, even if she was "duped"/convinced/mindf*&ked about it. We all want our parents to at least treat us equally with our siblings, and when it doesn't happen, it hurts.

Sorry that you have to deal with this. {{hugz}}

If you are concerned that your mother has been manipulated in any way you could call Adult Protective Services and discuss it with them

I am so sorry about your mother's passing. It is so sad that a child would steal from their mother. It does hurt. I am getting to the point that nothing my sister has done would be a surprise. I hope some day my sister gets what she deserves.
I hope there is a way to stop your sister. You don't deserve this. Please keep me posted on how it turns out.

My mom goes along with what ever my sister does. It makes it hard to proof anything to Adult Protective services. I am not the only one who has tried. My sister is very good at covering up what she has done.

I had the same type of sister. She practicically wiped out my mother's savings while she was alive and when mom died, she stole the ashes from the funeral home.

The hardest part was the betrayl by both my mother and my sister. It's been almost 3 years and the pain does get less but the hurt is still there. I have chosen to move on and to not dwell on what i can not contol because in the end, that means my sisiter control me also. I now live life as an oprhan with no faily and i put the timesa nd energy into my husband, son, work and friends because in the end, i can;t take it with me either.

Reelin 4... Get a good lawyer and follow the probate laws to the "T"... Since mom died without a will, sisietr announced she was coming after half of everything...here's the kicker, i kindly remined her that along with the assets are the outstanding debt including momm's mortagage. Please educate yourself about the probate laws in your state.

Sparkie,

I am an orphan too. I was betrayed by my mother and sister too.
I am moving forward and trying to let go of the pass. You are so right we don't want to let our sister be the one who won. I could see my sister doing what your sister did when my mother passes.
I am wondering how I will feel when my mother passes. I feel like I have already grieved the lost of my mother. I know my sister has no plans of letting me know when my mother passes. I will hear from her only if she needs money. It still hurts but I am doing better everyday.
I don't miss having a relationship with my sister. She has hated me for a long time. I only want positive people in my life. I
It is good that you are moving forward and focusing on your husband and son.
